Connor McDavid scored three goals and added an assist in a dominating performance to lead the host Edmonton Oilers to a 5-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday night.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had two goals and an assist, Leon Draisaitl collected four assists and Mikko Koskinen made 38 saves for the Oilers. Edmonton responded with an emphatic win one night after dropping a disappointing 5-3 home game to the Canucks in the teams season-opening clash.
McDavid, who was held off the scoresheet in the opener on his 24th birthday, was a force all night and had a hand in his team s first four goals.

The Flyers lost twice to the Devils in the Eastern Conference Final (1995, 2000) on New Jersey s way to winning the Stanley Cup and also fell to the Devils in the second playoff round in New Jersey s most recent run (2012) to winning the Eastern Conference Championship. While the Devils fell on hard times thereafter and have missed the playoffs in eight of the last 10 years, they ve often continued to, well, bedevil Philadelphia.
